1/11

Very smart chaser at his peak. Well below that level over hurdles in more recent times but needed only to replicate the form he'd shown on debut in this sphere to justify strong support at Wincanton last month and this looks a gilt-edged chance to follow up.

Form: 447-P21

Fix At All^p¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr B T Stone⁽⁵⁾| T: Callum Bickers-price| OR: 107| D

11/2

Fairly useful chaser at his best who showed some ability remains when third of 7 at Catterick earlier in the month. Receives 4 lb from Thunder Rock but shouldn't be troubling him barring accidents.

Form: P40-PP3

Forecasts

Thunder Rock (1/11), Fix At All (11/2)

THUNDER ROCK opened his account in hunters at Wincanton last month and barring accidents, Olly Murphy's charge should have way too much class for his sole rival.
